Privatization & Deregulation Ruined NYC
NYC doesn't have alligators but it does have moats, that at one time protected the downtown subculture.
This kept away the jocks, yuppies, normal people and other intruders.
By the late 1990's, crime subsided and the real estate developers magically made the hood livable.
NYC was losing it's soul.
By the time the new millennium was near, the real estate boom forever transformed the city's styles & attitudes.
The oddities lost their frontier
Some rolled with these changes, others left the city and some reminisced about the "Good old days". ...

Business Models
Now it seems the law is just for suckers
thanks to the win at all cost white boy votes
who everyone else knows are the fuckers
snorting winner's dope on their motor boats
in their cultural affirmation vice
where they bitch about crime, but do the drugs,
snuck through that border to reduce the price
by some fossil fuel motorhead thugs
whose motivation is to be in charge,
so they can knock down those pesky rules
preventing illicit sales at large,
especially in the public schools...
because they love the Jeffrey Epstein plan...

World of Chestnuts
Ceaseless hypocrisy, assuming
wings beneath your shadow
In a world of chestnuts
haunting shattered dreams
Where whispers lie
like a ghost
That won't let go
in a crooked house
wings beneath your shadow
In a world of chestnuts
haunting shattered dreams
Where whispers lie
like a ghost
That won't let go
in a crooked house

Inside This Bubble
Staring down the barrel of burnout
Why do they always play the victim
Lurking shadows cloaked in doubt
Indoctrinated into a broken system
Significant threats inside this bubble
Shark infested waters bleeding red
Influenced by greed seeking trouble
Mass graves await the walking dead

Your American Flag Was Made In China
The key to paradise was made in China.
30% of the worlds manufacturing is made in China as of 2023.

Poverty Can Be Stopped!
Eaten from inside
While you're struggling to survive
Denied of any food
Body reeks of bile, cannot wash it clean
From infecting open wounds
Starving children die
Left to rot like meat
Nothing they can do
Western world still thrives
Masses are obese
In excess we consume
Hunger never satisfied
A constant lust for feed
Devouring disease
Overfed a human mass
Is struggling just to breathe
Devouring disease
Eaten from inside
While you're struggling to survive
Denied of any food
Western world still...

The Extinction...A New Beginning
Fires are blazing
Village in ruins
Razing the land
To build something new
Pollute the airwaves
Till nothing can breathe
Take all our garbage
And fill up the seas
Earth will be clean
Once were gone
The way we're going
It won't be long
Final turn
Has come to pass
The human race extinct at last
Time is escaping
The end overdue
Already too late
For fixing the wounds
Our unending rampage
Of earth absolute
Just human nature
To consume and pollute
Be a part of the construction ...
Village in ruins

Till nothing can breathe

Final turn

NYC's Guardian Angels
When you're down in the dirty gutter
Speak out, Call our names
We will lift you to another level
We fire it up, You wont hit the floor
When you walk on the ground that's sour
No need to pray, We're here to stay
You know the number when you dial to heaven
Turn it up and you will reach them today
We're like the angels
Falling from the sky, Make a wish and we'll be there
We want to guide you through violence and despair
We are the saviors from the other side
We bring your heart and soul back to life
When your hope...

The Cry of The Hungry
In the land where the sun kisses the soil
Where abundance once sprang from honest toil
Now hunger prowls... like a restless beast
And famine mocks every hoped-for feast
The yam barns are empty... the granaries bare
The fields once golden... now stripped of care
Scarcity spreads... like harmattan dust
A bitter curse... on a broken trust
A goat tied too long... will chew the rope
But here even ropes... can’t kindle hope
The people cry... their stomachs hollow
Yet promises are all they’re forced to swallow
Once we...

Chains of Freedom
Hold up
Don’t talk
Or the grim reaper will steal your voice.
Words turn weapons stripped of choice
Next you're in cuffs
Bound and subdued
Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.
“Arise my Lord” the bailiff calls
But justice has crumbled within those walls.
Judged for truths you dared to say
Now silenced tossed like waste-away.
In the jungle of law where power preys
Your rights dissolve in a smoky haze.
In the heart of the city beneath neon lights
Lies Mide a dreamer who fought for rights.

A, B, C’s of Insanity
Ambiguously Breeding Confusion, Deceptive Establishments Function.
Greatly Hindering Institutions;
Justice Knowingly Lost.
Missing No Opportunity; Prisons
Quadruple Rapidly. Squandering
Talents. Ultimately Vanishing Within Xenagogues; Yielding
Zabernism.

Navalny
You kill me I get stronger
I defy your lies that you sell
You kill me ten more will come
Red and white roses are appropriate
For a HERO we don’t forget
Navalny against the Assassins
I’ll see you in my sleep Putin Cretin
Putin will die a worse death nuclear
Little man trying to stand up against
Navalny HERO in us
Putin’s chef in a plane blasted
Being silent against him
Roses are rising against Putin
Navalny death be the death of us
...
